Implementation of sustainable urban mobility solutions is key to address congestion challenges in India. To promote sustainable urban mobility, intermodal transit hubs (IMTHs) catering to various transit modes have emerged as one of the successful strategies, as it helps change the mobility pattern of the city and reduce traffic accidents and greenhouse gas emissions. Public and private transport operators, such as KSRTC and APRTC, cater to the intercity passenger demand in Bengaluru. Presently, the intercity buses travel all the way to the city centre, which operations result in duplication of services as well as traffic congestion within the city. The IMTHs need to be developed at the city’s periphery to avoid duplication of services and provide for seamless transfer of passengers to and from the city via intra-city modes available at IMTHs. The aim of the present study, therefore, is to identify suitable sites for the development of IMTHs at different locations on the periphery of Bengaluru. A multi-criteria approach has been adopted to evaluate various identified sites (land parcels). The evaluation parameters have been classified under several categories based on the site characteristics, such as area, transit operations, connectivity, economic development and constructability. Based on reconnaissance surveys and secondary data, the scores are assigned on a Likert scale to each potential site, and they are ranked based on the number of categories in which the site qualifies. This paper concludes with a recommendation of one most feasible site for each location based on evaluation results for implementation of the IMTH.
